It is often used to describe a deep emotional response of loathing or abhorrence, typically in the context of a person feeling repulsed by something or someone. This term can also imply a sense of weariness or being fed up with a situation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, emotions such as disgust and loathing were often expressed in vivid terms. The Hebrew Bible reflects this cultural tendency by using strong language to describe emotional states. The verb "quwt" captures the intensity of feelings that arise from situations of extreme displeasure or moral repulsion. Understanding this term within its cultural and historical setting helps to appreciate the depth of emotional expression in biblical narratives.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">קוֺט</font>] dubious <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb intransitive</b></font>, assumed meaning <font size="+1"><b>break, snap</b></font> (supposed to be akin to Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb087602.gif"> <em>cut, cut off, pare, trim</em> [whence Buhl assumes √ <font class="hebrew2">קטט</font>]), to account for <font class="hebrew2">יְקוֺט</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/8-14.htm">Job 8:14</a>, either as <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Qal</b></font> <em>Imperfect</em>3masculine singular whose hope <em>snappeth</em>;
